Hey I just saw you're most recent post and if you don't mind explaining a little more, could you explain? I know Grace was a scientist. I just don't know a lot about environment science stuff. Like what do you do? I am so interested to know. Is it similar to Grace?
HEY oh my gosh I’m excited to explain! So Grace was a botanist. Specialising in plants or “flora”. The environmental sciences sector covers a large range of subjects. Ranging from microbiology (can also be a biomedical topic) to ecology. Honestly the subject is so vast I couldn’t possibly explain everything I will definitely encourage you to look into it more if the urge strikes you!
So Grace was a research scientist, these people work in the filed and often are the frontline of new discoveries. For a scientist of any kind to be able to go to a new planet and discover new flora and fauna (plants and animals) is a dream come true. Grace probably had very little interaction with earths wildlife if it even existed when she was there.
Now for me? I am currently studying a Zoology degree. My subjects are vast and my knowledge won’t become more narrow for a few years. You don’t get to really specialise until masters or even PHD. I am studying with the goal of working to push the reintroduction of predatory keystone species into their native environments in hopes this can kickstart a recovery in the surrounding ecosystem and biome. At least that’s how I explain my job aspirations to my lectures, if anyone has heard of the wolves being put back in Yellowstone? Yeah I want to recreate that all over the world. Grace was on some level a conservationist. At least from my interpretation of her character.
She pushes to protect life she wants to understand it to its fullest and this is something I relate to.

BBC News, Washington
US President Joe Biden has approved a major oil and gas drilling project in Alaska that faced strong opposition from environmental activists.
The company behind the Willow project, ConocoPhillips, says it will create local investment and thousands of jobs.
But the $8bn (£6.6bn) proposal faced a torrent of online activism in recent weeks, particularly among youth activists on TikTok.
Opponents argued it should be halted over its climate and wildlife impacts.
Located on Alaska's remote North Slope, it is the largest oil development in the region for decades and could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day.
According to US Bureau of Land Management estimates, that means it will generate up to 278 million metric tonnes of CO2e over its 30-year lifetime - the equivalent of adding two million cars to US roads every year.
CO2e is a unit used to express the climate impact of all greenhouse gases together, as if they were all emitted as carbon dioxide.
Monday's approval comes one day after the Biden administration imposed limits on oil and gas drilling in 16 million acres of Alaska and the Arctic Ocean, a compromise of sorts with anti-Willow activists.
Environmentalists had argued Willow is inconsistent with President Biden's pledges to lead on climate action.
More than one million letters of protest were written to the White House, and a Change.org petition calling for Willow to be halted drew more than three million signatures.
"It's the wrong move and will be a disaster for wildlife, lands, communities, and our climate," environmental charity Sierra Club said on Monday.
Sonny Ahk, a young Iñuipat activist from Alaska who campaigned against Willow, said the development would "lock in Arctic oil and gas extraction for another 30 years and catalyse future oil expansion in the Arctic".
"While out-of-state executives take in record profits, local residents are left to contend with the detrimental impacts of being surrounded by massive drilling operations," he said.
But all three lawmakers who represent Alaska in Congress, including one Democrat, pushed for the project's approval, touting it as a much-needed investment in the region's communities.
They also argued it would help boost domestic energy production and lessen the country's reliance on foreign oil.
"This was the right decision for Alaska and our nation," added ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance on Monday.
The US energy giant, which is already Alaska's largest crude oil producer, will enhance energy security, create good union jobs and provide benefits to Alaska Native communities, he said.

"The Forest"
An illustration I painted and turned into an animated gif. This was very tedious but I like how it turned out.

My take on unicorns! I'd really love to make a mythical creature field guide someday, since the Spiderwick Field Guide is what inspired me to start drawing in the first place 🥰
